2) 62 (or so) YEARS AGO--Here are just some of the items of possible genealogical interest from the **February 7, 1940** edition of Bill Fiske's Bugle, a newspaper of the Celina area at that time, compiled for the Citizen-Statesman by Edwina Napier: Candidates qualifying for road commissioners before the deadline last week were the following, according to W.G. SIDWELL, member of the election committee: First district, Lester BROWN; second district W.W. GRACE and Dewey BIRDWELL; third W.A. MARCOM, Frank BROWN, Milton BOLES, Bart BAILEY, and Bob PARSON; fourth J.D. HUNTER and G.H. SEVIER. W.G. SIDWELL is secretary.

John, I'm glad I was able to help you. You've probably seen Rose's message to the list, indicating that I emailed her a copy of the marriage file of Ezekiel S. Green and Camilla Birdwell, with John Birdwell's note giving the family's permission for Camilla to marry. I have pretty much confirmed the following children of James G. Birdwell and wife Alitha Leonard: 1. Hannah (b. 25 Apr. 1825, Limestone Co.?, AL; d. 17 Oct. 1910, Bell Co., TX). Hannah m. 1)Hardin Harville, 25 Nov. 1845, Natchitoches Psh., LA; and 2)Ezekiel S. Green, 11 Dec. 1867, Natchitoches Psh., LA). 2. John B. (your line) (b. 1 July 1828, Limestone Co., AL; d. ?Feb. 1918, Dixie, Caddo Psh., LA). John B. m. 1)Mary Emily Brewster, 5 Apr. 1855, Avoyelles Psh., LA; and 2)Mary Fredonia Russell, abt. 1866. 3. Dewitt Clinton (b. abt. 1831, Limestone Co.?, AL). 4. Thomas (b. 18 June 1832, Jackson Co., AL; d. aft. 1880, Bell Co., TX?). Thomas m. 1)Virginia Turner, 11 July 1859, De Soto Psh., LA; and 2)Sarah Nunn, 12 Sept. 1877, Bell Co., TX. 5. Camilla (b. abt. 1834, Jackson Co., AL; d. 1862-1867, Avoyelles Psh., LA?). Camilla m. Ezekiel S. Green (who m. her sister Hannah after Camilla died). 6. Frances C. (b. abt. 1837, Jackson Co., AL). Frances m. J. Claiborne M. Oliver, 2 Jan. 1854, De Soto Psh., LA. 7. Sophronia (b. abt. 1841, Natchitoches Psh., LA; d. aft. 1880). Sophronia m. Livingston Turner, brother to Virginia, above, 8 Aug. 1856, De Soto Psh., LA. 8. Mary Ann (b. abt. 1845, Natchitoches Psh., LA; d. abt. 1885, Coryell Co., TX?). Mary Ann m. George Adolphus Friend. A possible sibling of these is Elvira Birdwell, who was b. abt. 1822 in Limestone Co. (?), AL, and d. abt. 13 Dec. 1855 in Pointe Coupee Psh. On 13 June 1844, she m. Samuel Kerr Green, father of Ezekiel S. Green, who m. Camilla and Hannah Birdwell. This marriage took place in Pointe Coupee Psh., LA. On the 1850 census, Camilla, Mary Ann, and Clinton Birdwell were living in the household of Samuel K. Green and Elvira Birdwell. Elvira is possibly a half-sister of James G. Birdwell, though. James's father Moses had 10 children by each of his wives, and to my knowledge, no complete list of all of these has ever been compiled. Will gladly share information. My email address is indsch19@hotmail.com. Note that the two characters after "indsch" are "nineteen," not lowercase L followed by 9. Glad to hear from you, and eager to swap information.

I'm replying to the message from Wuudcrvr@aol.com about proof that John Birdwell was a son of James G. Birdwell (1795-1849). I have the proof. When my ancestor Camilla Birdwell, a known daughter of James, married Ezekiel S. Green in Pointe Coupee Psh., LA, on 2 Jan. 1853, John signed the family permission notice allowing Camilla to marry (she was 19 at the time). The notice identifies John as her brother. By this time, John and Camilla's parents James and Alitha Leonard Birdwell had both died--hence John acted as the family representative. I'll gladly share information on this line with you.

John Birdwell was born July 01, 1829 in Limestone County, Alabama, and died January 01, 1918. His first wife was Mary E. Brewster who was born in Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana. Later, he married Mary Fredonia Russell, daughter of Elijah Russel and Marth Erwin. Mary Fredonia was born Dec 30, 1846 in Holmes County, Mississippi. John possibly was the son of James G. Birdwell from Georgia, DOB abt 1795, DOD December, 1849. Would like to confirm this possible connection.

1/2/02 Rose, Felix G. Birdwell is buried in the Easley Cemetery at the foot of Mary Frances Birdwell/and G.G.G grandpa Scott. Not a coincidence I don't think!. The DAR genealogist says headstone bears NO dates, but likely to be her dad. I will be visiting soon and will go there myself and take a pic. I will also contact the cemetery and look at their records if all the folks aren't dead that take care of that cemetery. My uncle used to do it. I'll keep you posted if you will do same for me.

Hello--I am very glad to tell everyone that I have now heard that the message I received that I had been infected by a virus that could not be detected by either Norton or McAfee IS A HOAX. Thank you all of the Birdwell clan that inform me of this. If you had already deleted sulfnbk.exe (the name of the hoaxed virus) please go to the following address and put it back in your computer. It is actually part of Microsoft Windows and is used to restore long file names. The address is: http://www.truthorfixtion.com/rumors/sulfnbk.htm Thanks to the many Birdwell's that sent me the above address. Velma

Description: The following hoax email was first reported in Brazil, and the original email was in Portuguese. Other language versions are in circulation. Currently, the English language versions are most common. CAUTIONS: This particular email message is a hoax. The file that is mentioned in the hoax, however, Sulfnbk.exe, is a Microsoft Windows utility that is used to restore long file names, and like any .exe file, it can be infected by a virus that targets .exe files. The virus/worm W32.Magistr.24876@mm can arrive as an attachment named Sulfnbk.exe. The Sulfnbk.exe file used by Windows is located in the C:\Windows\Command folder. If the file is located in any other folder, or arrives as an attachment to a email message, then it is possible that the file is infected. In this case, if a scan with the latest virus definitions and with NAV set to scan all files does not detect the file as being infected, quarantine and submit the file to SARC for analysis by following the instructions in the document How to submit a file to SARC using Scan and Deliver. If you have deleted the Sulfnbk.exe file from the C:\Windows\Command folder and want to know how to restore the file, see the How to restore the Sulfnbk.exe file section at the end of this document. How to restore the Sulfnbk.exe file If you have deleted this file, restoration is optional. Sulfnbk.exe is a Microsoft Windows utility that is used to restore long file names. It is not needed for normal system operation. If you want to restore it, there is more than one way to do this. See the information that follows. NOTE: The instructions in this document are provided for your convenience. The extraction of Windows files uses Microsoft programs and commands. Symantec does not provide warranty support for or assistance with Microsoft products. If you have any questions, please see your Windows documentation or contact Microsoft. Windows Me If you are using Windows Me, you can restore the file using the System Configuration Utility. 1. Click Start and then click Run. 2. Type msconfig and then press Enter. 3. Click Extract Files. The "Extract one file from installation disk" dialog box appears. 4. In the "Specify the system file you would like to restore" box, type the following, and then click Start: c:\windows\command\sulfnbk.exe NOTE: If you installed Windows to a different location, make the appropriate substitution. The Extract File dialog box appears. 5. Next to the "Restore from" box, click Browse, and browse to the location of the Windows installation files. If they were copied to the hard drive, this is, by default, C:\Windows\Options\Install. You can also insert the Windows installation CD in the CD-ROM drive and browse to that location. 6. Click OK and follow the prompts. Windows 98 If you are using Windows 98, you can restore the file using the System File Checker. 1. Click Start and then click Run. 2. Type sfc and then press Enter. 3. Click "Extract one file from installation disk." 4. In the "Specify the system file you would like to restore" box, type the following, and then click Start: c:\windows\command\sulfnbk.exe NOTE: If you installed Windows to a different location, make the appropriate substitution. The Extract File dialog box appears. 5. Next to the "Restore from" box click Browse, and browse to the location of the Windows installation files. If they were copied to the hard drive, this is, by default, C:\Windows\Options\Cabs. You can also insert the Windows installation CD in the CD-ROM drive and browse to that location. 6. Click OK and follow the prompts. Windows 95 (or alternative method for Windows 98/Me) If you are using Windows 95, you need to use the extract command. This can also be used on Windows 98/Me. 1. Click Start, point to Find or Search, and then click Files or Folders. 2. Make sure that "Look in" is set to (C:) and that Include subfolders is checked. 3. In the "Named" or "Search for..." box, type: precopy1 4. Click Find Now or Search Now. If it does not exist on the hard drive, then insert the Windows installation CD and repeat the search on that drive. 5. When you find the file, write down the location of Precopy1, for example, C:\Windows\Options\Cabs. This is your Source Path. 6. The general form of the Extract command is: extract /a <Source Path>\precopy1.cab sulfnbk.exe /L c:\windows\command NOTE: Make sure that you include the /a switch, as shown. Depending on your version of Windows, the Sulfnbk,exe file can be in a .cab file other than Precopy1.cab. By using the /a switch, the Extract program will look first in the Precopy1.cab, and if the file is not found there, it will look in all subsequent .cab files until it is found, and can be extracted. So if the source path is C:\Windows\Options\Cabs, then the Extract command becomes: extract /a c:\windows\options\cabs\precopy1.cab sulfnbk.exe /L c:\windows\command NOTE: If you installed Windows to a different location, make the appropriate substitution. 7. Click Start and then click Run. 8. Type the following, making the appropriate substitutions as previously noted extract /a <Source Path>\precopy1.cab sulfnbk.exe /L c:\windows\command 9. Click OK. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- > Hello--this is not a joke or a prank. You may receive an email from me.
